Sun Hills Lakeside

Sun Hills Lakeside is a three-building residential complex by Sun Hills Co., Ltd, situated in the Thalang District of Phuket and scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2028. The development sits within the Bang Tao coastal corridor and is designed as a private resort-style community, with 301 residences spread across three low-rise blocks of seven floors each.

# The buildings and their position in Bang Tao

The three blocks are conceived around a bionic architectural language: facades clad in natural, durable materials, vertical greenery that cascades between floors, and panoramic glazing that runs the length of each elevation. Architectural lighting is integrated into the structure rather than applied as an afterthought. The overall scale is deliberately restrained for the site, with seven-storey buildings keeping sight lines open to the tropical landscape and the lagoon beyond.

Bang Tao itself anchors the northwest coast of Phuket, adjacent to the Laguna Phuket resort cluster, which includes luxury hotels, a golf course, and established high-end residences. The beach stretches close to six kilometres and draws a quieter, more considered crowd than the island's southern tourist centres. That context shapes the project's positioning: resort infrastructure without resort-district noise.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and specification

The development carries 301 units across studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations. Sizes run from approximately 323 square feet to just under 829 square feet, covering a price range of AED 384,562 to AED 1,377,779. Every residence includes a terrace.

Ground-floor units have direct pool access and their own landscaped private areas. Upper floors trade that immediacy for elevated panoramas over the surrounding canopy and lagoon. The specification is consistent across the building: kitchens arrive with marble-effect splashbacks and worktops, black-finish cabinetry in upper and lower configurations, and integrated appliances including a Samsung microwave and a washer-dryer. Bedrooms are finished in a hotel-influenced layout, with upholstered wall panelling in neutral tones, timber veneer accent panels, and flanking bedside lighting.

The finish standard is custom rather than off-the-shelf. That distinction matters at this price point, where buyers are comparing against serviced residences in established resort brands.

# Amenities across the three blocks

Sun Hills Lakeside is structured around three heated swimming pools, including rooftop pools and a children's pool. The Khabib Gym training centre occupies its own zone within the complex, covering personal training, group classes, functional training areas, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing and recovery facilities. A separate sports and wellness facility adds a fully equipped fitness gym alongside yoga, pilates, stretching and meditation studios.

The spa includes a sauna, hammam, massage rooms and recovery suites. Beyond fitness and recovery, the amenity programme extends to an aqua club, open-air cinema, rooftop lounge terraces, a full-service restaurant, a children's game centre with professional animators, and coworking areas with meeting rooms. Underground parking is provided with EV charging stations and a car wash.

# Location, connectivity and the airport question

Phuket International Airport sits roughly 20 minutes from Bang Tao, which is a material advantage for buyers who split time between Phuket and other cities. The project operates shuttle buses to the beach and key local infrastructure points. Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket, both within a short drive, account for most of the area's premium dining, beach club and retail offer. International schools, wellness centres and supermarkets are present in the surrounding district.

Surin and Kamala beaches are accessible quickly from the site, broadening the immediate coastal range without requiring a long drive across the island.

# Who this project suits, and where it sits in the market

At an entry price below AED 400,000, Sun Hills Lakeside is among the more accessible resort-standard freehold propositions available to international buyers in Phuket. The upper end of the range, approaching AED 1.4 million for the larger three-bedroom residences, stays well beneath comparable branded-residence pricing in Laguna or Surin.

The buyer profile is likely a long-hold investor or a part-time resident rather than a primary homeowner. The amenity depth, the gym brand partnership, the spa and the cinema are not incidental additions; they support a short-let or serviced-residence operating model if the owner chooses not to occupy full-time. Completion in March 2028 gives buyers currently under contract a reasonable construction window to plan accordingly.
